Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Jeopardy!‘s weekend encore presentation this week features a game that I think a lot of people will remember fondly from last season: 8-game champion Laura Faddah going for win #9 against microcrochet artist Sabrina Blanks and worldwide karaoke singer Harvey Silikovitz. Harvey’s interview in this game, where he talks about his diagnosis with Parkinson’s Disease in 2019 makes today’s game one of the most memorable in the entire history of the show, making Harvey’s performance being all the more impressive. Harvey’s contestant journey also featured prominently in Claire McNear’s book Answers in the Form of Questions.
